Shaukat Ali, 26, who survived the blast, said: "We were saying prayers when this huge explosion occurred." "It almost blew out our ear drums. Then it was it was like a scene from Doomsday," he said. His white cloak and pants were torn and spattered with blood. Dozens of wounded were taken to the hospital in Peshawar, the capital of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province. The hospital was chaotic as injured arrived in pickup trucks, ambulance sirens wailed and wounded screamed for help.
